Welcome to the Nonbinary wiki

The wiki dedicated to the promotion of nonbinary gender identities
About

Nonbinary wiki was created on the 1st of February 2017, after the original Nonbinary.org Wiki went down. Luckily, the Wayback Machine had a copy of it. Our goal is to build a new wiki with the best of the old as well as new and improved content.

Since the day of its creation, 510 users have been working on 942 articles here.

Nonbinary?

Nonbinary is a term that refers to people whose gender is neither male nor female. They can identify with not having gender at all, with both binary genders, with a third one or ir can change over time. Nonbinary people fall under the transgender umbrella term, and nonbinary is an umbrella term itself, although some people use it to describe their specific gender identity too.

Featured article

A gender neutral title is an alternative to the gendered honorifics Miss, Mrs, Ms and Mr, for people who don't fit the gender binary and therefore don't feel that a gendered title fits their identity. It is used in formal situations when it is inappropriate to refer to someone by their first or last name only. However, there is quite a lot of people who would prefer to never be referred to with a title. In the 2018 Gender Census, 32.2% of respondents didn't want to use a title for themselves.

For the most part, gender neutral titles without qualification/career connotations are not recognised by the general public or businesses/organisations. Activists and supporters are working toward awareness and acceptance of alternative titles. The generally accepted gender neutral titles are associated with qualifications and careers, such as Dr (Doctor) and Rev (Reverend).
